To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ALONZO OROTOHETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Iola, in the county of Allen, State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fender-Supports 5 and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to chandeliers, and has for its object to provide a fender-support therefor adapted for engagement therewith and arranged to support fenders over the flames thereof to protect the `ceiling from the heat.

Another object is to provide a support which may b'e used in connection with different chandeliers, which may be easily adjusted thereupon, and which may be folded to occupy little room when not in use.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specication, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the pres,- ent support in position upon a chandelier. Fig. 2 is a sectionalview of the support removed. Fig. 3 is a top plan of the support. Fig. 4 is an elevational view of the support folded.

Referring now to the drawings, the present invention comprises a clamp 5, including jaws 6 and 7, having wings at one end laterally offset for vertical alinement, in which position they are disposed, and these wings have registering openings therethrough forming a passage 8 for the reception of a pivot-pin Above the wings this pivot-pin is turned to extend horizontally and has its free end bent to form a fender-receiving hook 10. The jaws 6 and 7 each include a stem portion 11 between their wings and their free ends, at which latter portion lthey are provided with recesses 12 in their mutually adjacent faces and with laterallyextending pairs of vertically-alining ears 13 and 14, the ears 14 being carried by the jaw 6, while the other ears are carried by the jaw 7, and at its free end'the jaw 7 has a vertically-alining pair of ears 15, which extend laterally over the end of the jaw 6 when the vin the drawings,

free ends of the jaws are in mutual engagement. A bolt 16 is engaged in the stem portions 11 of the two jaws, and a thumb-nut 17 is engaged in the threaded end thereof for operation to clamp the jaws against outward movement and against a body engaged in their recesses 12. Arms 18 have their inner end portions bent downwardly for engagement in alining vertical openings 19, formed in the several pairs of ears, and are movable pivotally therein, these arms extending horizontally and having their outer ends bent to form fender-receiving hooks 20. As shown there are thus four fenderreceiving hooks which when the arms are in operative position lie at different points upon a common circle, and the several fendersupporting members formed by the arms 18 and the pivot-pin 8 then aline longitudinally in pairs. The clamp 5 may be engaged with the vertical pipe 22 of a chandelier, and fenders 23 may be engaged with the hook to lie above the planes of the chandelier.

When the support is not in use, its arms may be folded to extend in the same general direction as shown in Fig. 5.

What is claimed is` 1. A device of the class described comprising a clamp, including two members having vertically-alining wings, a pivot-pin engaged in the wings and extending thereabove and turned to extend horizontally, said horizontal portion being adapted for the reception of a fender at its outer end, means for holding the jaws at times in engagement with a body disposed therebetween, outwardly-extending ears carried by the members at the opposite sides of the clamp, an ear carried by one of the members at its free end, and fendersupporting members engaged in the ears.

2. A fender-support for chandeliers comprising a clamp including two jaws adapted for engagement at opposite sides of a chandelier-pipe, a pivot-pin engaged in the two jaws for pivotal movement of the jaws with respect to each other, said pivot-pin being turned to extend beyond the jaws to form a fender-supporting arm, and means for holding the aws in operative position.

3. A fender-supporter for chandeliers comprising a clamp adapted for engagement with the vertical pipe of the chandelier', said clamp including two jaws having overlapping IOO ortons, a. pvot-pin engaged in the over- ]n testimony whereof I aIX my signature 1tfgpng porlgns ofdthl jaws, said pvt-pn n presence of two Witnesses. emg turno eyon t e jaws to exten horzontally to form a fender-supporting arm, ALONZO CROTCHETT 5 means for holding the jaws in operative pos- Witnesses:
